@return2ozma Dear god, it would be lovely if Americans actually realised that they're only about 5% of the world population, and not actually as important as they think they are.Lodra@programming.dev 1 month ago
This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to claim for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.

This is the standard colonial gaze. Blame the racist colonizers who genocided people and stole all this land. It’s no different today. Just look at Palestine.

As an American, I agree.

One problem with that is that he’s not a robot and his brain does not run crowd strike software. So that might be kind of difficult.

Uh, I don’t follow. How does this impact Trump in any way whatsoever?

When you’re a delusional conspiracy theorists, anything is a direct attack on whatever you’re delusional about at the time. Trying to rationalize their train of thought is impossible

Yeah, no, this makes no sense. However, I have in my life heard some conspiracy theories that were called conspiracy theories at the time that turned out to be true. So I’m not saying that it’s impossible.

I have contact with someone trying to float the idea because she doesn’t understand tech.
To her, it’s because it’s the biggest IT outage ever and it happened 6 days after the failure to assassinate Trump.

It’s pretty obvious that if you are a blinkered radical, then everything is about you and your cult.
